A long-running neighbor dispute in Rumney, New Hampshire, ended in a fatal shooting on June 29, 2014. David L Landseadel, 48, a local chiropractor, was shot on a staircase landing leading down to a shared community dock near Stinson Lake after an altercation with neighbor Edward Healey, then 61. Both men and their wives had been on the lake that day; Landseadel had been kayaking, Healey on his sailboat, and both had been drinking. A later report recorded Landseadel’s blood alcohol content as .20.

The Attorney General’s account says the two had a history of acrimony and that a previous physical incident had occurred in summer 2013. On the day of the shooting Healey said Landseadel began punching him; Healey, who held a valid concealed carry permit and regularly carried a firearm, retrieved a .38 caliber handgun from his cooler and fired one shot that struck Landseadel in the head. Landseadel was pronounced dead at the scene. In October 2014 the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office concluded it could not disprove Healey’s claim of self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt and announced no criminal charges would be filed.

Are there local witnesses or information about the yearlong dispute or the 2013 confrontation that could shed more light on what led to that night?
